Regal Damselfish

(Neopomacentrus cyanomos)

Neopomacentrus Damselfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim as they are open water swimmers. Plenty of rock work with caves and crevices should be provided for grazing and hiding. Neopomacentrus Damselfish may pick at benthic invertebrates. A diet of meaty and algae based foods which include Spirulina should be provided several times daily. Neopomacentrus are hardy, peaceful, shy fish that can be kept in small groups if housed in a large aquarium.

The Regal Damselfish are also known as the Regal Demoiselle. Occasionally seen in the aquarium trade. The Regal Damselfish are a unique gray color with a yellow tail and a yellow to white spot on the tip of its dorsal and anal fins. They can grow a little over 3".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 50 gallons or larger for this species.
